Flow visualization in wind tunnels using indicators / compiled by R.L. Maltby.

Describes various flow visualization techniques in use in British wind tunnel practice during this period which are not dealt with fully elsewhere. Emphasis is on such of these techniques that had been recently developed, particularly those devised for the understanding of separated flows.
